Hi Folks:
I'm still waiting on bread flour to arrive, and in the meantime I am running out of flour to feed my starter. The starter itself is 100% organic whole wheat, 15 days old, it's had ups and downs but is still alive for sure. I do have a sack of bleached AP sitting around that I use for cakes etc. Is it ok to start feeding the starter the bleached flour, or is it better to just stick my starter in the fridge, slow it down, and wait for the good stuff?
Anyone ever fed their starter bleached flour with success?
You could try to take a little of your original starter and feed that portion with the bleached flour to test the results.
Just also wondering if folks have done it successfully.
I've fed my starter twice with bleached AP flour. No apparent problems. I dried some of the starter before using bleached flour, to have a fall-back in case something goes south.
